This is my first fanfiction so I will welcome all constructive criticism and, obviously, praise! It won't be perfect but I will give it my best go. So here's the first chapter!


1. Thunderstorm (Percy's P.O.V)

BANG! A clap of thunder made Percy Jackson jump. "Holy Zeus! Calm down up there!" He didn't know what had made Zeus so angry and he didn't want to know either. When one of the gods were in a temper it was best to just stay out of the way.

Percy started flicking through the channels again. "Boring. Watched that. Uggh... An educational programme." Suddenly, a loud banging on the door made Percy throw the remote control down.

"Percy! Can you get the door please?" Percy's mother, Sally Blofis, stuck her head into the room, her hands covered in cake batter.

"Sure," Percy replied. He got up from the sofa and walked to the front door. He wondered who it could be. Annabeth Chase, his girlfriend, had already left an hour earlier. His mom was at home and his stepdad, Paul Blofis, was at a friend's for the night. All his other friends were at camp. Slowly he opened it and looked outside. Immediately his head was soaked with the rain. Percy sighed. He would really have to get his dad to talk to Zeus about anger management.

He looked around but there was no one there. He heard a small whimper at his feet and looked down. On the doorstep, he found a young girl of about seven staring up at him with green, cat-like eyes. She looked petrified. "Hello there," Percy said softly. "What's your name?" She didn't answer but looked up at him suspiciously.

The girl had flame red hair and bright green eyes. She was average size for her age with a few freckles on her face. Her ears were curiously pointed making her look like some sort of elf. Any other person would laugh at the idea but Percy was a demigod. He'd faced far worse. "I won't hurt you. I promise."

The girl snarled and Percy backed away in surprise. "You can't promise that," the girl whispered in a low voice. "You don't even know who I am."

"But you obviously need help. So why don't you come inside." Percy held out his hand, offering it to the girl. She hesitated for a moment but reluctantly took his hand. Percy smiled gently at her and although she didn't smile back she didn't seem as suspicious as she had been before. It was a good start. And it could only get better, right?


I know this is short but I ran out of inspiration so read and review and I'll try and make the next chapter longer!
